On January 29, 2010 I will officially join the ranks of the unemployed. Laid off from my job as a commercial real estate broker, I am beginning my first full-fledged job search since I graduated from college. Times have certainly changed. Back in the "day", we waited for the classified section of the Washington Post, and armed with a red pen, went through page after page of possibilities. Now the computer is mightier than that red pen.
This morning, as I sat in Portland’s Old Port at the Maine Bean Bakehouse & Deli mainebean.com, listening to great live music with my daughter, I was bemoaning the fact that I wouldn't be downtown as often once I stopped working. "You should job hunt from a different coffee shop every week" said my prosaic 17 yr old. Half kidding, I suggested that I could write a blog chronicling my job search, the different coffee shops and the people I meet along the way. Her response was enthusiastic and thus Lattes and Resumes was born.
